Umm if what you guys said was true about the cops confiscating your car and selling it... then I probably should transfer my new car into my dad's name... :)

Anyone have any idea what is the safest thing to do since my new car hasn't got the transfer papers done yet? :)

Very wise advice <_<

Although I am a very sensible driver, no one is perfect, and driving to uni everyday in peak hour traffic can push you over the edge sometimes. If caught during those times I would accept the normal punishment as I would deserve it but to loose my car? I don't think so!

Actually I don't really think the whole impounding thing/'police have no power' is a load of b/s since I was speaking to our TMU friend a few months ago about this exact thing and he said somewhere like... Wagga?.. it's a pain in the ar5e caus the cops impound them but it's costing them heaps of money as they have nowhere to store the cars, so they have to be driven about 1hr or 2hrs away or some such to the impound lot.. (or whatever). Of course the details are a bit sketchy caus it was a while ago now. I'll be sure to ask next time I speak to him.

Anyway I totally support the idea of impounding all the commodores that do burnouts across from our house at 3 in the morning etc etc, and hopefully even the twat in the 31 that almost ran into me (in the 'line) the other day doing fishtails (he didn't seem to mind there was cars coming either)... but I'd be more interested to know how exactly you're supposed to defend yourself if someone 'dobs' you in and you're innocent. Personally I can think of better ways to throw away money than buying new tyres/new rear ends etc and have no desire to do burnouts etc, but theres nothing stopping some fool from making a false report.

And I'm not sure about the noise, but yes you can already dob in someone for smoky exhaust or littering (incl throwing cigarette butts out windows or something flying off the back of a trailer), just to clarify.

what do you think you're gonna lose your car for?

if driving to uni pushes you over the edge and you then have to drag everyone, and do burnouts, then you'll lose your car.

No, I said I was a sensible driver, I don't do that shit. Its just I occasionally speed when I'm late (obviously where safe, although we are led to believe any form of speed kills :) ) or fang it to get ahead of the slow pack which may seen as "hoon" activity to the cop.

Wait, what the f**k?

Third Offence: Possible total loss of vehicle

Do we at least get compensated for it?

If your stupid enough to get done 3 times I say they deserve it! Compensation is for when you NOT in the wrong.

It's simple don't act like a wank#r on the road and your safe! :(

PS - The number does work!

i know of someone who has been done twice, just b4 they changed the rules in nsw to 2 times.

oh n they can also sell a vehicle if its caught being used without registration in nsw. they did this to a 500cc dirt bike here bout 2 yrs ago.

dunno how tough they are in vic on this law. but in nsw it is legal......

oh n i was just readin this on that epa site:

EPA must have the information reported by the police, as the vehicle must be heard by a trained ear and a decision must be made whether the vehicle is excessively noisy.

i thought they used machines to decide how loud things are? they goin old skool now or somethin?

Trained ear my ass. I would destroy them with some pre-assessed sounds and a sound meter.

I bet they couldn't explain what the difference was between 90 and 93dB mathematically let alone by ear, especially in an outdoor changing environment where sound can superimpose and reflect.

Juts a couple of nights ago there was some LOSER bouncing off the rev-limiter in 1st Gear in the wet practising his drifting or something on the back streets just 20 meters away from me at 11pm. He went on for like 3 -5 minutes .. it was a R33 GTST too.

Not impressed!! :angry:

I was praying he would blow his engine or something.

i alwyas hear people cutting sick with the burnouts from my bedroom window (where im sittin on the computer)

the big shopping centre is about 1 min walk away, so im assuming they're doing it in the car park there or just at the intersections etc....but they do it for so long at once, i cant beleive they dont get busted.

they do sound like some pretty animal cars though

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
